Hi I have taken BSNL Venella Plus read about the the same in this blog only, I had done an online top up on 17th July for Rs.110/- using ICICI (the talk time was immediately added but the validity is not updated).
As per this plan once we recharge or top up for Rs.110/- (we get a talk time of Rs 100 and validity increases by three months).
I am very much dis appointed, and the BSNL call center has very poor response.
Many times the agents do not pick the phone or even if they pick they put it aside.
At last one person picked my call and told he took my complaint but i got no reference or complaint number.
My validity is not yet increased :-(.
I cannot take off from my office going around BSNL offices across Hyderabad and I am afraid the services of BSNL are poor
First of All I am happy to thank BSNL for rectifying the Validity extension issue I had posted earlier on this blog,
though it took almost a week to provide resolution But at least I did not have to runn from pillar to post, as I had thought,
I just dropped a mail to bsnltariff@gmail.com
And as an existing user of BSNL I can give my suggestions to Bhagavan
As far as I know BSNL will activate FFE only to 5 numbers and not 2 so your format is wrong (This being an automated code accepts only 5 numbers as input)
1.so gather all 5 numbers and try
or
2. if u have only 2 numbers fill in the last 3 numbers with the same (so that the computer porgram accepts your 2 numbers again and it has 5 numbers as input)
I sent a msg for registering freinds & family numbers .I typed as 08723xxxxxx 08457xxxxxx and three mobile numbers of bsnl.I recieved a reply from 53733 as"invalid request, please send FFE landline number , mobile number.For Example ffe o4xxxxxx, 944xxxxxx-bsnl mobile" kindly clarify .
hi, jalapati plz send Ur mobile number to check the status of ur F&F, so that book a compliant on Ur mobile, if any problem is found.
One request to all the viewers of my blog it is better to leave Ur mobile number to verify the exact problem what it is. Orelse send mail to me to maintain privacy of Ur mobile number.
hi. now im in power pack plan....On 03-10-09 i made online recharge(i.e., e-recharge) of Rs.199 to convert from power pack to vennela plus.I got the balance of Rs.50 with 3 months validity but my paln is not migrated .....what can i do now plse reply to me. If the vennela plus is done through online means it wil activate or not.plse reply as soon as posisble email: jagadeesh.jan20@gmail.com
Hi Now i am in power pack plan and my validity expires next month , does vennela plus plan needs to b recharged every 3 months? Also tell that 1paise tarriff plan is only for saral anant plan
hi pramod, yes! u hv to recharge for every three months @110/-(topup)... 1 second 1 paise scheme applicable to saral ananth & General prepaid.. for more details see the tariff card in this blog post dated 4th september 2009.
Hi if we recharge with 500 once then can we get 15 months validity as many in this forum are saying they have problems in validity extension. Pls help me to choose a better plan.
I am using a power pack which is going to expire this month end. so i contacted the customer care for a better plan and executive suggested STV 45 (1 paise/sec) saying that it has a validity of 365 days. I though it was a recharge coupon and bought one and activated it. Only after that i realized it will not give extended validity for one more year. Now i migrated to vennela plus. My question is STV 45 supporting card which i activated before migrating to vennela plus still work after migration. Plz reply.
Very good to see queries being answered here. I appreciate your efforts for being in touch with costumers in this way when waiting for call center executives has been frustrating. Many of my queries have been answered in above posts. I just have this query on SMS.
I here there are 2000 sms free if we recharge with rs 23. but when i send to 53733 i get invalid entry.
Can you please let me know the Specific format in which I need to send sms to avail the sms offer. Also please let me know if it is valid for 3G vennela plus plan.
hi kanni, thanks its plssr to serve u. Actually Rs.23/- is a STV voucher. If u recharge u will get 2000 sms/month with a validity of 30 days. NO NEED TO SEND SMS TO 53733 If u are in vennela plus or Vennela super or Nestham plans then.. for F&F option follow this... FFEspaceLANDLINENOspaceMOBILENO1spaceMOBILENO2spaceMOBILENO3spaceMOBILENO4 then send SMS to 53733
hi kiran, Nice, To activate 5 nos in F&F plz follow.. FFEspaceLANDLINENOspaceMOBILENOspaceMOBILENOspaceMOBILENOspaceMOBILENO SEND SMS TO 53733 u can opt any network five numbers BSNl@10ps & Other Network@30p/min If ur new & starting plan is Nestham u will get that 2000 SMS free for the first month. If ur migrated to Nestham from another plan then u won't get that 2000 SMS free..
BSNL has been offering attractive schemes, But the basic need of a network is to offer uninterrupted service to the customer. I am very sorry to say that BSNL is doing miserably in this field. Especially when there is a rain fall, There is no network signal. It is very hard for us to make calls or for others to reach us when there is rain.
This is the one frustrating reason as why i changed from 2G to 3G hoping better signal performance. But it too let me frustrated as performance is poor but requirement for us to communicate is high in situations of rainfall.
Can you please make me and others understand as to why this happens? Is the infrastructure so poor or the team that maintains signals technically weak?? All other operators who take bandwidths from BSNL and operate their signals are doing better in the field then why cant BSNL do better??
Hoping to see improvement in the service and an explanatory answer to the above.
Hi. I am in the vennela plus, with all @ 49 paise scheme. I get 250 local smses free every month. My query is on STV-13, whihc makes all local and std smses 1paise per sms. My questions are these:(a) Is STV-13 available for me? (b) Since this stv has only a 30 day validity, what happens after that if i do not want the stv again. will my 250 free local sms continue? (c) How do I get this STV voucher - is it possible by sending an sms or does one have to get it from some vendor?
hi i m raghu..i m new to bsnl services...taken 3g sim with vennela super plan..in this the local f&f costs 30ps/min..but in nestham it is 10ps/min..so i want to change from vennela super to nestham....how can i change?plzzzzzz help me
I have recently migrated from Vennela Plus to Nestham plan. I am trying to activate 5 friends and family numbers using my mobile, but in vain.
Error message says "Message Not Sent.Try Again Later."
I assume this comes only when there is no balance in my cell, but that is not the case. There is sufficient balance in my cell. Can you please look into this and do the needful? ( I have sent a mail with my mobile number already)
hi gani, sorry there is no direct voucher for 3G to nestham, u have come back from 3G general to 2G general as follows.. From 3G to 2G send SMS 'M2G' to 53733 after 24hrs u have been converted to 2G general and then go for Nestham migration voucher of Rs.40/- u will get 35/- talktime.. if u have any further more doubts plz send: bsnltariff@gmail.com
I have bought a BSNL SIM in october 2009 with Excel plan. The next Year changed the tariff for my calls at 1paise /second using STV 45. this expired in december 2010 and i have then gone for a second STV 45 this month of 2011. but today i am shocked to notice that 60 paise/minute and 70 paise/minute are being charged for calls to other BSNL nunbers and other network numbers. I want to quit BSNL for its pathetic functioning. I am vexed of using BSNL services.
